HOUSING

KEY:

Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I enjoyed living in a flat with other two ERASMUS students,and I had no problems at all in living outside the campus as the area was a safe one.
Personal comments:
I thinK I was very lucky, as my arrangement was maybe the best one ( pretty, clean and comfortable apartment, safe area..)

Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
you shouldn't miss a night in la Zona Rosa and visit its bars and pubs; Plaza Garibaldi is another place which deserves a visit..

KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses

Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
just check the programme the courses you are going to attend, as sometimes there are some problems in recognition at home. Also see the language spoken, as many of them are in English...That is something good if you want to revise it!
